Summary
This quote suggests that when writing history, there is a tendency to obscure or manipulate certain facts or events in order to present a biased or incomplete narrative. It implies that there may be a deliberate effort to conceal aspects of history that could challenge established beliefs or narratives. This statement underscores the idea that history is not always a straightforward reflection of past events, but can be influenced by the perspectives and motivations of those who write and interpret it.
